Postal Predicament by SaxOps1 2017-12-07T06:30:25Z

I enjoyed playing this game! Simple and cute.

Paperworks by fabbyrob 2017-12-07T05:35:48Z

This game was a bit hard to understand, but once I did, I found myself playing a few more rounds!

Earl's Quest by wujood 2017-12-05T05:01:08Z

I love this game. The GB was my first gaming device and this brought back so many memories! I loved the look, feel, and sounds of this game!

Chemistree by DorienvD 2017-12-05T04:34:37Z

I loved the art, but unfortunately, at the beginning the player traveled off the map after I selected Josepine and made me unable to progress in the game. I realized after multiple play-throughs that I cannot select Oakley, but if I select Sakura the entire time game works fine. From what I could see, I think that this is a good idea!

Money transporter by lexi 2017-12-05T04:10:03Z

I love the simplicity of this game. It went well with the theme.

It's all fine I can drive by squirrelsoft 2017-12-07T06:25:35Z

I enjoyed the environment of the game. Good idea!

Critter™ Sitter by those-30-ninjas 2017-12-07T05:58:01Z

Love the way this game goes with the theme. It reminds me of my childhood; having like 6 tamagotchis and all of them dying.

Quantum's Rick by cortexdeveloper 2017-12-05T05:06:48Z

​Love this show! Love this epi! I love this game! I like how simple, but hard this game is.

Hug Me I'm Cold by reizoukin 2017-12-07T05:45:52Z

Great idea!! Enjoyed playing especially that the difficulty increased dramatically with each level.

SHADOW by niwraD 2017-12-07T05:20:03Z

I enjoyed this and wanted to continue playing even though it had a high difficulty. I liked the idea behind it. I enjoyed the art the most.

Home Decoration. by RickSquanchez 2017-12-07T05:14:20Z

Short and cute. I love the bitsy editor and like that you used their newest feature of picking up items.

10 inches or less by Almost Panda Studio 2017-12-05T03:13:23Z

I loved it! Such a fun, simple, and addicting idea!

Buried by Books by PaperbackGorilla 2017-12-05T04:53:38Z

As a recovering book-aholic, this is a great game. I love the humor of how a book collector has too many books. I like that the player just has to go back and forth, but each time the level changes.

Disaster Deli by William Beaty 2017-12-14T05:06:12Z

I had a hard time understanding if i had the right combo for the customer. I liked the idea and the the art.

Oh no! Humans! by esper000 2017-12-05T03:22:20Z

I thought this game was cute and I love the music!

Don't take my coins by JanaChumi 2017-12-05T04:46:21Z

This game goes along well with the theme. I really appreciated the arrow though small, it was a big help and made the game more enjoyable.

LD41 — Combine 2 Incompatible Genres

Dinosaur Dating Simulator by akai_0okami 2018-04-24T23:14:43Z

I LOVED THIS GAME!!!!! It was very funny and I loved the turn based attacking with a dating simulator! Great use of the theme!! My sister saw me playing and told me to wait for her before I continued the game. You have immersed my entire family. Great Game!

Infernoculus by icxon 2018-04-24T18:21:44Z

This game is addicting! Usually I play a game for a minute or so, but this one i could not step away. This took the theme and made something good. The graphics, music, and mechanics all tied together so well and obviously immersed me into the game. I loved that each player had health too! Great game!

The Tower of Glass by xk_the_name 2018-04-30T19:10:53Z

I enjoyed playing this game. I felt that the mechanics were unique. I liked the turn-based feel too. It made me want to strategize better. Good game!

Lobotomy and You by rodobodolfo 2018-04-27T03:40:30Z

I had fun playing this game, but it was a bit hard to guess what would be compatible commands. I loved the graphics and mechanics. A great idea!

Race Out of Hell by MiggyG 2018-04-27T18:07:32Z

The music was epic! There were moments when I was on a lower platform and the NPCs on the platform above me could still hurt me. Otherwise, I had fun!

Tetris Escape! by Ninjascribble 2018-04-27T03:19:38Z

Wow! This is a great concept! It was difficult, but I couldn't stop playing! I liked blobby too! Great game!

Don't forget by Piller Yann 2018-04-27T04:22:24Z

Very interesting game. I loved the art and that messing with the radio changes the music in the background. Good game!

Eggplant Kindergarten by LiquidBrain 2018-04-24T23:04:41Z

I loved the audio tutorial and the cute music! Good Game, very funny!

Groove Chase by Matt Pattabhi 2018-04-27T18:11:36Z

I liked the art and music. The difficulty was pretty tough. I had fun though. Good game!

Interdenominational BROwS by Ratherjolly 2018-04-27T02:31:18Z

I enjoyed the look of this game and that one player is 3d while the other is in 2d. It gives the game a different feel. I thought the narration was a nice a touch.

Sunken Soldier by OmnipotentIndie 2018-04-27T02:36:21Z

The point system was a bit difficult to get used to since it wasn't easy to not touch the walls or a fish. I did like the art. Good game!

You Can't Dodge Your Feelings! by Autumnotopia 2018-04-27T04:31:36Z

Such a cute game!!!! I loved the art and mechanics. Good game.

Quest Sweeper by TheM 2018-04-27T02:57:35Z

This is so addicting! I loved the way this tied in with the theme. Great game!

RV Having Fun Yet?! Bill and Jackie's Race Across America by nerdyHerbivore 2018-04-27T04:25:18Z

I wanted to play, but the link isn't wasn't a shareable link:(

FARMACY by Rawrasaur 2018-04-27T04:11:03Z

Overall, I enjoyed playing this game. I think adding more of a turn-based fighting mechanic would make the fighting more intense. I ended up just button mashing the one fruit and killing all the enemies with little to no damage. Also, disabling the player when the monster is triggered would help. There were a couple of moments when I didn't notice a monster and transitioned to a fight. Good game!

Acute Stronghold by BalladofSong 2018-04-27T20:25:28Z

@erik-brendel which browser are you using?

Doing a google search, I see that IE has difficulty with webGL. Other than that I see the solution was to delete your cache but not your cookies.

Hope this helps. (I use firefox and Chrome)

Acute Stronghold by BalladofSong 2018-04-28T03:22:23Z

@erik-brendel thanks for noticing. I actually had another equation for level 2 that was switched around, but in a rush I released with this one.

Pizza Chef by imKrye 2018-04-24T16:31:43Z

I love time management games! Even though there was no timer or constant flow of customers, I still played the game as if there was one. I didn't even notice the oven timer. I put together a pizza, put it in the oven, started another order and took the first pizza out to serve while the other one cooked. LOL 😄. I would say a nice song would've added a nice touch to bring it in. It also took me a while to realize the dough and oven was needed. Great game!

Late Night Shopping by Kciwsolb 2018-04-24T16:17:40Z

I enjoyed playing this game. My second try I got 155 for the distance. I would like to see the player move faster to give it more of an urgency. I agree with emiko, a vignette with each loss of a health point will also add to the horror tone. I think that you selected a good song to tie in with the theme, but it was a bit low. Great game!

Welcome to Snake Academy! by Sintel 2018-04-27T03:14:18Z

I loved this dating sim/ snake game. Very unique and funny. I loved interacting with the other snakes even though all of them seemed to bash me. 🙂 I enjoyed the art, the mechanics, and the sound. Great game!

Misty Night by sleepyGrin 2018-04-24T16:06:28Z

The art and music was great and tied in well with the rhythm part of the game. I really enjoyed playing this, but I was confused on why I perished in the same spot for multiple plays. Though I went with the rhythm, am I supposed to let bars go past me if the ghost isn't properly turned around?

GTFO: Get the Frog Out! by JemiDove 2018-05-14T15:01:30Z

I enjoyed the art of this game! It was addicting and difficult. I like the usage of a progress bar on the side and that the platforms randomize with each restart.

Cryptopia by mediyaz 2018-04-24T22:34:54Z

I had fun destroying the garbage, but afterwards I ended up getting stuck between the five rooms. I seemed like I wasn't able to do anything with the garbage that was destroyed on the walls. Did I miss something? (I couldn't figure out how to get the right mouse button to work.) Otherwise, the art was good and simple and the music was intense. I felt the pressure from the music, which in this case was a good thing because there is no timer. The music kept pushing me forward to look for new ways around the world. Great Game!

Beet Farmer by oneseedfruit 2018-04-27T19:03:33Z

I couldn't understand the instructions, but I enjoyed the music and graphics.

Flower Hero by Curt 2018-04-27T03:25:41Z

I enjoyed the artwork and mechanics. It took me until reading the comments that I didn't need to match the flowers with the cards. After that this game became addictive. Great game!

LD41 - Pet Defense by Shadowl33ch 2018-04-24T23:39:46Z

Very cute game! Good job!

Rainy Night by kumabotz 2018-04-27T02:23:04Z

I enjoyed the music with the increasing speed of the car. I was on the edge of my seat trying to get as high a score as I could. I liked that the speed of the car decreased after a kiwi was hit. Good job!

Gun Appetit! by Nyunesu 2018-04-30T03:12:05Z

Great idea! This was a difficult game to play, but very fun. I enjoyed trying to cook while killing zombies. Good art, music, and mechanics!

Reverse by MrJake7X 2018-05-14T15:14:58Z

I enjoyed the graphics of this game and the cute characters. I had no clue what the switch characters button was. Even though I have a gaming computer and that symbol is there, I feel like normally it is referred to as tab. Knowing it was tab instead of the symbols would've saved me some frustration in the beginning. It felt tedious that each time I switched characters, I had to re-walk the level. It would be nice to have the characters follow one another. Good game though.

Stardust by Linkwin 2018-04-24T22:23:09Z

I enjoyed playing this game. I though the music and the art was adorable. The art drew me to play this game! The concept of the game is unique. At first, I couldn't tell from the itch.io page what my goal was, but when i read the LD page, I realized I was collecting stardust to create worlds. This is such a cute mechanic. There were times when the stardust was so close to the asteroids that it was hard to collect them, but I did enjoy playing this game!

Would you marry me ? by Toryf 2018-04-27T04:00:14Z

I liked playing, but I agree with the others that I would like to see more. Good job!

Death Road to McGamkedonald's by Chikoness 2018-04-24T22:43:39Z

I enjoyed this game. It was really unique. At first I was a bit confused with the controls, but was able to get a bit further with each play through. I like the fueling your vehicle. I think adding other NPC "racers" would make it feel more like a race instead of a driving game. I did like playing pong and cooking the food. I was confused on how to feed the griffin. By the time the food was cooked the NPC was good at hitting the food and making me lose the food. There were times when I launched the food that the food went straight past my pong bar. Otherwise, I had fun. This really tied in well with the theme. Good Game!

Puzzle Invasion! by EstacaoMarte 2018-04-27T18:55:29Z

Good concept! I enjoyed playing.

Raucous Raccard by noumenus 2018-04-24T16:46:41Z

I love the graphics, the mechanics were a bit hard to understand without instructions.

Super Golf Zombie Survival 2018 by tokkiseul 2018-04-24T18:04:49Z

I enjoyed playing this game! It was unique and a new take on a zombie survival game. At first i was confused about the end goal of the game. Once I realized, I was knocking out zombies like it was my job. I loved the simple graphics and the mechanics fit well with the theme. Great Game!
